Mountains and Mustard Seeds

“He holds galaxies yet notices when your heart trembles. The same hands that named every star also caught every tear. Majesty and mercy in one heartbeat – that’s the God you belong to.” – Ange Little

            I shared this message the other day and I felt so strongly to share it on this platform as well. I believe that so many of us are facing trials and hardships right now and may be searching for a since of belonging. This message, to me personally, serves as the sweetest reminder that we are loved, cherished and cared about and, most importantly, KNOWN BY NAME, by the Creator of this world.

Life can get mighty, mighty difficult indeed. We feel overwhelmed, our cups run low, and we just feel…stuck. We feel like we need to stop talking to those we talk to because we don’t want to come off as complainers, when we really just need to let it out and get it off our chest, but it’s recurring every day.

We get so consumed with how hard life is that we forget there’s one person that could hear our story over and over again and truly is the only One that can give us His strength and answers to overcome it. Out Heavenly Father calls each star by name and He knows OUR names. Yes, He does!! Oh, the love He has for us! He knows when our heart trembles and we are suffering. He knows that we don’t always come to Him first because the enemy wants us to become overwhelmed, anxious and anxiety riddled. But may we never EVER forget that the ONE who holds the stars in place, calls them by name and spoke everything into existence knows us PERSONALLY and wants to help us through these tough times. He wants a relationship with us daily, but our enemy wants us consumed by doubt, fear and worry. We need to remember just how loved we truly are.

Thank You, Lord, for this beautiful reminder of Your grace. Thank You for Your mercy. I pray things get better in the coming days for anyone on this platform that may be going through a difficult time in their life as well. Maybe this message was meant for you. Only God knows. But you’ll know when you read it for sure. God has a way of getting messages to those who really stand in need of it.
